Real estate market in Halkidiki in 2026
The average cost per square meter in the resort areas of Halkidiki is about €2,716, with Sithonia being on average more expensive than Kassandra due to less dense construction and more limited supply. Demand is driven by foreign buyers from Northern and Central Europe who are looking for a summer residence or a property for seasonal rental, rather than permanent housing.
Three parts of the peninsula: Kassandra, Sithonia and Mount Athos
Kassandra is the most developed and lively "finger" of the peninsula: nightlife, hotels, restaurants, developed infrastructure; popular villages are Kallithea, Hanioti, Pefkochori. Sithonia is a more secluded and green region with pine forests and coves, suitable for quiet family holidays; popular villages are Nikiti, Neos Marmaras, Vourvourou. Mount Athos (Agion Oros) is mostly closed to visitors as a monastic republic, but at the very beginning of the peninsula — in the areas of Ouranoupolis and Nea Roda — you can buy property for a quiet getaway. Specific prices for each village are in the table below.
How to get there: Thessaloniki airport and transport
Halkidiki does not have its own airport — the nearest international airport is in Thessaloniki, approximately 80–100 km away. By car to Kassandra — about 60 minutes, to Sithonia (Neos Marmaras) — 75–90 minutes. KTEL buses run from Thessaloniki to the main villages, but with a transfer at the bus station, so most buyers rent or buy a car for regular trips.
How much does real estate cost in Halkidiki
Apartments and studios on the secondary market within walking distance of the sea — from €129,000 to €150,000 for 35–50 m². New builds and apartments in complexes with a pool — from €170,000 to €280,000. Townhouses and cottages of 70–120 m² with a small plot — from €185,000 to €400,000. Detached premium villas on the first line of Sithonia — from €600,000 and can reach several million euros.
Taxes and legal aspects of purchase
A foreign buyer first needs a tax number AFM — without it, no transaction can be carried out in Greece. Upon purchase, a property transfer tax of 3.09% of the cadastral value of the property is paid, and after registration — an annual property tax ENFIA, which depends on the area, zone and year of construction. The purchase agreement is drawn up by a notary and registered in the land registry.
Purchase process for a foreigner
- Obtaining AFM. The tax number is issued at the local tax office or through a power of attorney.
- Opening a bank account. Required for transferring funds and paying taxes.
- Property check. A lawyer requests an extract from the cadastre and checks for encumbrances and debts.
- Preliminary agreement. Signing with a deposit, usually 10% of the price.
- Signing the deed before a notary. Payment of the remaining amount and the property transfer tax.
- Registration in the land registry. The final step, after which ownership is considered complete.
Golden Visa when purchasing real estate in Halkidiki
The threshold for Halkidiki in 2026 is €400,000 for one property of at least 120 m²; combining several smaller properties to reach the amount is no longer allowed. The lower threshold of €250,000 is preserved only for two narrow categories — converting commercial property into residential or restoring cultural heritage sites, and does not apply to ordinary residential purchases. A property purchased under the Golden Visa is prohibited from being rented short-term through services like Airbnb — only long-term. If a residence permit is not needed, property of any value can be purchased without restrictions on area or type of rental.
Rental and property management
For owners who do not live in Greece permanently, local management companies take care of property maintenance, tenant search and organising seasonal rentals. Gross yield from seasonal rental of villas in popular villages like Sani or Vourvourou is 6–8.5% per annum, while demand for premium properties remains high even amid the cooling of the mass market segment.
